I check out of the hotel and my friend Andrew picks me up and we go over to his house. I spend hours sorting out Mega Bloks. I was fortunate enough that the night previous, one of the Mega Brands folks did get a half a tub of bloks for me after mine had been taken. So there I was sprawling my bloks out on my friend&#8217;s parents living room floor sorting pieces. Some good conversation with his folks about all types of things from gardening to cultural history and more.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew&#8217;s mom makes a fantastic Chicken and Potato dinner. MMMM MMM Good! Around about 11pm, I&#8217;m finally off to go back home. After a lay over in Harrisburg, PA for about 4 hours, I finish the trip and get home. Exhausted, but having had a lot of fun, despite the failed events of the previous day.<\/p>\n<p>I made plenty of new friends within the Halo community, met my Halo heroes from 343 and Mega Brands and did manage to get at least some Halo swag.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I know, I&#8217;m going to solemnly swear to get in shape for this next year!<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for an article on Cosplay at the con. And later today my serval part review of Forward Unto Dawn Episode two, with a graphic novel to follow. (Likely tomorrow).<\/p>\n<p>-Sal (HFFL)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here it is Sunday.
